Best American Restaurants in Hawaii Kai

The food, and service is excellent. My wife and I dined at Hoku's before and we decided to introduce them to the restaurant and their feedback was they haven't tasted food that great. Matter of fact one of our guest remarked that "...even the cruise ship don't have food this good." We'll be back.

We had a wonderful experience dining here this evening. A big mahalo to all the staff for accommodating my extended family of 7, including a toddler. Our server was on-point, great selection of drinks, the view excellent, the ambiance and noise levels just right. Everyone enjoyed their meals, but especially the mini poke tacos, the mahi tacos and the kids pizza was a huge success for a picky eater.

We sat in the large patio area outside. It was very pleasant, with balmy weather and light trade winds, and we liked the live music (a solo guitarist/singer). We ordered from the Happy Hour menu and the food and drinks were inexpensive. Even though the restaurant was busy we were served quickly. My friend ordered the local shrimp and chips and I had the tempura fish and chips. Our waitress brought us a small glass of Prosecco (no charge) before our meal arrived. The food was delicious and well prepared. The coating on the seafood was light and crispy (not greasy). The service was excellent. Shout outs to our pleasant and friendly waitress Mahina and to the host Kody. We liked the restaurant so much we came back for dessert the same evening after we attended a music event!

We had a great date night! Our waitress was amazing and the staff were great, even took a great picture for us with Diamond head in the back ground. Highly recommend their happy hour drinks and food.

What a great experience! Kalaha Resort was beautiful, so we came early to walk around the grounds. It was beautifully decorated for Christmas, and it was so much fun to see the dolphins and walk along the beach to the small island. Dinner was superb: the food was excellent, and our waiter Eric was top-notch. I'd highly recommend Plumeria House restaurant. Sit outside if you can----it's such a romantic experience!
